Backend Integration Guide
Zaptec stations can be integrated into the eCarUp billing system in a few steps and for free. Once installed in your account, you can easily define the terms of use of your stations (prices, users, available times, etc.). You decide who can charge, when and at what price. Learn more about how OCPP stations work with eCarUp in general.

Preparatory steps for the integration of OCPP stations into the eCarUp Cloud
Your charging station is installed and your computer or smartphone is in the same network as the charging station
You have created an account in the eCarUp app
Log into the eCarUp web portal with your account data and click on the "OCPP" tab in the menu on the left under Stations
Copy the URL to the clipboard and store it at the desired station in the web interface.
Installation of the Zaptec portal
Navigate to the Zaptec web portal and log in
Select "Installations" in the menu and select the desired group of Zaptec stations for integration into the eCarUp accounting system
Now select "Settings" and then "Authentication" in the submenu
You will see the following menu interface:
5. Activate the "OCPP 1.6 Authentication" field
6. Enter the OCPP "URL" under "URL", which you received during the preparations in the eCarUp portal
Attention: URL must still be supplemented with / & {deviceid}
Example: ws://www.ecarup.com/api/Ocpp16/wei948gfhwe/{deviceid}
7. Activate the "Authorization required" field and then click on "Save"
⚠️ Important: The station must be restarted.
The Zaptec chargers of the selected group are now registered as charging stations in your eCarUp account and can be configured along your individual usage conditions.
Zaptec Charger billing in a multi-tariff system.
The 15-minute values of the Zaptec station can be exported. This allows for advanced tariff structures such as ZEV billing or multi-tariff systems. You can read more about this on the 15-minute data import page.
Multiple eCarup station owners on one Zaptec installation ?
Yes, this works!
To do this, proceed as follows:
On the installation as usual set the authentication to OCPP 1.6J
leave the field with the URL empty
select the checkbox for authentication required.
Now go to the station, there you can store the individual URL with the serial number of the Zaptec station in the settings.
Save.
Advanced setting via maintenance tool (eCarUp Premium)
The upload interval of the Meter Values may vary from station to station.
We recommend an interval between 30-60s. This is the only way we can better calculate and display the current charging power on the app.
You can change this as follows:
Get Configuration (to read out what is programmed).
Change Configuration (to overwrite the value)
